Routine, Administrative, and Ministerial legal services involve day-to-day, rule-based tasks within government agencies, corporations, commercial businesses, military armed forces, and legal practices, focusing on procedure, registrations, recordings, transactions and proceedings (ministerial), process management, uphold legal standards, research administrative law decisions, adjudications, (administrative), and repetitive work (routine) like contract reviews, contract drafting, contract "red lines", filings, compliance, governance, risk, compliance, negotiations, hearings, eDiscovery, and notary public, all aiming for efficient, consistent application of law, rather than policy-setting, interpretation of the law, navigating legal strategy or employing complex individual judgment or subjective decisions.

Routine, Administrative, and Ministerial legal services are typically administered by individuals that have earned a Juris Doctorate (Law Degree) and hold specialized certifications such as a Certified Professional Contract Manager, Certified Federal Contracts Manager, and Certified Commercial Contract Manager. Additionally, it is not uncommon for these individuals to also hold other advanced degrees such as a Master of Business Administration, or even a Doctorate in a complementary discipline.
